The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the importance of our ability to cope well with stressors, our ability to show resilience. In this symposium, speakers highlight social environmental, psychological, and neurobiological mechanisms that support an individual’s ability to show resilience to stress. They show that resilience refers to a dynamic process of successful adaptation that unfolds during and after stress and is facilitated by a multitude of influences ranging from ‘bottom-up’ polygenetic influences to ‘top-down’ supportive social environmental factors and their bi-directional influences.
